Chapter Table of Contents Chapter Seventy-Three: The Knife

On a cold day in the month of Layue, Hedong and Hezhong Xuanfu envoys, Prince Yan Zhao Ta returned from inspection, and when officials at all levels in Taiyuan Fuzhong were ready to discharge the guard of honor to welcome the prince into the city, they got the news that the prince went to Jinyang halfway to lead the troops back to the camp. ,!

When he arrived, Zhao Ta's eyes were bright, he hadn't been here for nearly two years since he led the troops to the west, is this still the original Jiugong Village? And this refreshing feeling is not only the prince, everyone is the same, the first thing that catches the eye is the walled wall and the walled gate, not only whitewashed, but also the walled wall has been widened and heightened, the corner tower has been erected, the wall has been repaired with a bunker, a sentry has been arranged, when the army has just approached, the alarm bell sounded, where is the military camp, it is clearly a heavily guarded fortress.

"Hey, Zhao Li, this kid saw that we were here, and instead of opening the door to greet us, he sounded the alarm when we were enemies, and I went to let him open the door!" Zhao Lian looked at this plane and said incomprehensibly, saying that he wanted to lift the horse forward.

"Wait, let's see what they do next!" Zhao Ta waved his hand to stop Zhao Yan's movements, and he looked at the vigilant sergeant in the city with interest, without the slightest look of annoyance.

"Yang Xian, the head of the Jiugongzhai Left-behind Camp of the Loyal and Brave Army, asks the general to show the token first!" At this time, the gate of the fortress was half opened, and the two horsemen rushed out of it, one in front of the other, and the gate was immediately closed, and the leading general shouted after restraining his horse and saluting at a distance of thirty paces from the army.

"What's it for! If you don't know your own people, don't you know this handsome flag? Zhao Xiao watched the door open and close, and yelled at Yang Xian dissatisfiedly. The loyal warriors can walk sideways in the entire northwest, but when they arrive at their own door, they are inevitably depressed, and everyone is also clamoring, if the prince is not here, they may have to step forward and slam the door!

"General Shao'an is not impatient, since you are the commander of the loyal and brave army, you know the military discipline of the loyal and brave army, and you are not allowed to enter and leave the barracks at will without a token!" Yang Xian, who was in front of the army, did not panic because he provoked the anger of the public, and still said without humility or arrogance.

"Good boy, it's against you, don't use chicken feathers as arrows. Tell Zhao Li to come out and talk, I won't talk nonsense with you! Yang Xian obviously knew Zhao Xiao but was unmoved, and Zhao Xiao felt looked down upon, and was taught a lesson by a little capital, and he was even more angry in his heart. The whip roared.

"If the general meets the envoy in his private capacity. Please wait outside the gate, and the general will send someone to report! Yang first bowed his hand and saluted.

"Hey, you're really embarrassed, someone came to capture him. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant! "This kid is too ignorant, his face is a pass in the loyal army, who is not polite when he enters and exits the battalions, no one has ever dared to stop him, and today he met a guy who does not enter the oil and salt. Zhao Xiao waved his hand, and several pro-soldiers stepped forward.

"Please calm down, otherwise the general will only offend!" Yang Xian looked at the approaching few soldiers and did not move, raised his hand and said without showing weakness, but the sergeant who followed him out of the village shook the order flag in his hand twice, and suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps in the city, and then a musket poked out of the battlements and aimed at the army in front of the village. Zhao Xiao's personal soldiers saw this and knew that this was not a joke, if they did it themselves. Those defenders above really dared to give themselves a shot, reined in their horses and looked back at Zhao Xiao.

"Lord Wang, you can say something, if you continue to make trouble, something will happen, why doesn't Zhao Li show up!" Zhao Zhi saw that the two sides were stiff. If you don't do it, you will be in the city, and see that the prince around him is still watching the excitement with great interest, and he has no intention of coming forward at all, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. The prince is really becoming more and more unreliable, seeing that his subordinates are about to fight. Still watching Bai Xi as if he had nothing to do, he hurriedly said.

"Hmph, you are really going back more and more, the official is big, and military discipline is useless to you?" Zhao Ta snorted coldly and put down a sentence, suddenly broke away from the team to urge the horse forward, everyone watched the prince leave the team and stepped forward, and an idea came to their hearts, this time the prince was in a hurry, they were going to be unlucky

Under the gloating gaze of everyone, the prince urged the horse to Yang Xianma ten steps before the reins were reined, and after dismounting, he raised his hand to salute him, "The commander of the loyal army, Zhao Ta, led the dragon generals, lion generals, and tiger generals to return to the camp, please let go, this is the handsome seal!" Zhao Ta said, took off the handsome seal tied to his waist and offered it with both hands.

"Lord Wang" Yang Xian was taken aback, and said in a panic, but he quickly regained his composure, jumped off the horse and hurriedly returned the salute, took the seal letter and read it carefully, and handed it back with both hands.

"Thank you!" Zhao Ta took the seal letter and saluted again.

"Lord Wang, the last general should be damned to block the king's drive, please punish him!" Yang first saw the prince come out, his heart was already prepared for the worst, he thought that the prince just didn't cut himself, but also had to give himself two whips, but he didn't expect the prince to complete all the procedures in accordance with the requirements of the military regulations, he felt that the next step should be his 'bad luck', so he simply knelt down on one knee and took the initiative to ask for guilt.

"Get up, you will be punished for doing things according to the rules, and the military law team must not be busy to death!" Zhao Ta helped Yang Xian up and said, "Yang Dutou, since we have checked the authenticity, it is time to let us enter the village, don't let everyone freeze outside!" ”

"The prince led his troops back to the camp, lifted the alert, and opened the door to greet him!" Yang Xian looked at the smiling prince in surprise, seeing that he was not displeased, and looked back at the city and shouted in a trembling voice.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps in the village, the gate of the village opened, and the two teams of sergeants took the lead in rushing out of the queue, blowing the welcome horn, Zhao Li, Zhao Zhong and a group of military academies came to the prince's horse, "How can the prince return to the camp also inform in advance, let's prepare in advance!" Zhao Li hurriedly said.

"You're embarrassed to say hello, your guy on duty almost shot us just now!" Zhao Xiao snorted dissatisfiedly and said.

"And this kind of thing, maybe they didn't see it clearly!" Zhao Li and Zhao Xiao said with a smile.

"Didn't see clearly?! Ha Lu Ha our loyal army handsome banner in the northwest I am afraid even a child knows, Zhilu Dao Wang Ye arrived, but our loyal army does not know their own handsome flag, if that is the case, I don't think he has to be the head of the head, just send it to the farm to farm! Zhao Xiao seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world, and said with a dry laugh.

"Zhao Xiao don't say it anymore, you can't enter and leave the barracks at will without an order, it's a rule set by the prince, Yang Dutou is doing a good job, you must be a big man in front of others!" Zhao Yi saw that Zhao Xiao was still unrelenting, Zhao Li could only explain with a smile, the scene was inevitably a little embarrassing, and he said with a cold face.

"When are you going to discuss it, nearly 10,000 people will listen to you here!" Zhao Ta looked at a few generals and said with a cold face, "Yang Dutou, arrange for all the troops to enter the camp, let them quarrel here, when do you figure it out and let them enter the village!" ”

"Lord Wang, this" Yang first saw that these people were all veterans in the army, and muttered a little embarrassed.

"Why, isn't this king's word good? You are the officer on duty today, and it is also your duty to arrange for the camp! Zhao Tan glared at Yang Xian and said.

"Yes, do as the king commands!" Yang Xianli saluted and said, "Order Team A and Team B to send adjustment posts to guide the dragon general to enter the camp from the east gate, the lion general to enter the camp from the north gate, the tiger general to enter the camp from the west gate, and the Chinese army to enter the camp from the south gate; Team C assists the armies to collect food, grass and necessities from the baggage brigade; Team D guards the gate of the village and strictly prohibits irrelevant personnel from entering! ”

"Okay, Yang Dutou, you take this king into the camp!" Zhao Ta saw that Yang Xian handled things in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic, and couldn't help nodding secretly, ordinary people would be sincerely afraid when they suddenly saw the coach coming, but it was not easy for him to keep calm all the time, "Don't move, stand upright, think about it!" ”

"Lord Wang, I didn't follow them to coax!" Zhao Yan had been watching the play coldly just now, and he didn't interject a word, but at this time, he was also arranged by the prince to blow a cool breeze here, shouting wronged.

"Did you enter your tent casually?" Zhao Yan snorted coldly and said, Zhao Yan immediately understood why the prince was, because he did not stop or remind Zhao Xiao's illegal behavior, did not do a resolute struggle, and ate Zhao Xiao's melon.

"Lord Wang, it doesn't seem to have much to do with me, right?" Zhao Yi said puzzled.

"Zhao Zhong, our brigade has all gone to the front of the village, but your main general is still hiding in the village and I don't know why," Zhao Ta said.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates know that they are wrong!" Zhao Zhong also understood, he thought that this was the mainland, far away from the war, so he removed the patrol post outside the village, which violated military discipline, and he stood aside with his head down and was silent.

"Zhao Li, why don't you keep quiet?" Seeing that the prince turned around and left, Zhao Zhi asked.

"Brother Zhi'er, don't you see it, the prince is using us to kill chickens and monkeys! If I speak, the prince will only be more angry, and we will have to stand guard outside this village tonight! Zhao Li said to Nunu, the back of the prince.

"No, the prince tosses us for such a trivial matter!" Zhao Xiao looked at a few brothers and said in disbelief.

"Everyone be careful, the prince is really angry, if he wants to rectify the person, does he still need to find a reason!" Zhao Zhi sighed and said, everyone trembled when they heard it, and they felt that the weather was colder, which reminded them of the days of Beifu, the prince is going to make a big move, this is to take them under the knife!

Zhao Taxin stepped into the village, looked around at this familiar and unfamiliar place, and said that it was familiar because this village was designed and built by him, and he could find every place here with his eyes closed; Strange to say, this place has changed greatly from when they left, the passages have been paved with stone slabs, and trees have been planted on the roadside, but there is a rare fallen leaf on the road

"Yang Dutou, this place was all rebuilt by you, are you still training?" Looking at the freshly painted barracks, the tidy barracks, and the various training equipment erected on the training ground, Zhao Ta asked Yang Xian, who was with him.

"Lord Yu, after the departure of the army, the training of our left-behind camp has not stopped, and the camp area was also built by Du Yuhou and everyone!" Yang Xian replied respectfully.

"Well, yes, you guys did a great job!" Zhao Tan nodded while watching.

Listening to the prince's praise, Yang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has escaped a catastrophe, and the prince will not take himself under the knife
